Secrets of a Successful Garden Pond

In warm summer weather, nothing can replace the gentle gurgling of cool water in the shade of lush greenery. Whether you're working at the office or pulling weeds in the garden, the higher quality your rest, the faster you'll recover and once again enjoy what you love doing. Besides beauty and tranquility that flowing water in the garden brings, a living pond is also the most trendy and stylish element of country life this summer.

When planning a pond in the garden, remember the most important rule - the pond should first and foremost look natural and fit into the existing landscape.

The more diverse plant life there is in your pond, the more harmonious it will look. Moreover, many plants have a wonderful ability to purify water and prevent excessive algae growth.

Be sure to plan for natural shade above the pond; otherwise, the water will evaporate quickly and your beautiful natural pond will become a big maintenance issue.

When discussing the shape of the future pond with landscape designers, insist on the most irregular and jagged edges. By designing it this way, you create natural habitats for plants.

How can any water body exist without its inhabitants? Be sure to introduce your favorite residents into the water. Your pond will especially appeal to a pair of goldfish, turtles, or even frogs.
